Transmigrated into a corrupt female county magistrate, defied fate and changed her life in a deserte

"Doesn't that mean that if my sons Goudan and Niuniu both pass the exam, they can both enter the academy to learn a craft? And they can both be assigned jobs after they finish their studies?"

Ranchu nodded at the middle-aged man who was speaking: "That's right! If you have many children and each of them can pass the test, we will accept them all!"

"But if your children can't pass, we won't have any of them!"

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly changed. Some families with many children were shouting with joy, while others had sad faces and looked depressed.

If I had known earlier, I would have had more children, and the chances of admission would have been much greater.

After all, learning a skill at a technical training college not only costs no tuition, but also provides job opportunities in the future.

Isn’t this better than begging for help and finding connections to send your child to learn a skill?

You have to know how difficult it is to learn a skill to make a living. Not only is the tuition expensive, but the masters don't teach wholeheartedly, and you have to work for free.

Some people study for several years but fail to even learn the basics. Instead, they waste a lot of time and still have to depend on the master's mood in the end.

For them, being able to enter a technical training college is a pie in the sky.

So the smart people present had already rushed back to pick up their own girls to try their luck.

Those who lived a little further away also spent money to rent a car to go back and bring all the children with them.

However, there are also some who do not care. They think that their sons are smart and will definitely pass the exam, while the girls in their family are worthless and will not be able to pass the exam even if they bring them.

Seeing those people going home to pick up their children, I rolled my eyes inwardly and waited with my head held high to register.

After choosing the right time, Song Jinshu struck the gong and the enrollment officially began.

This time she was just there to keep up appearances. Ran Chu was in charge of the scene, and she only needed to sit in the middle of the academy, drink tea, and watch the teachers test the students.

In order to maintain order on site, parents accompanying their children to take the exam can only wait outside the gate.

The children lined up in two lines to sign up, and then waited for their names to be called to take the test.

As each student was tested, some passed successfully and received the registration form and wrote down their names.

Some children were eliminated and ran out crying, and the parents outside the gate started to make a fuss.

"I don't accept it! How come Old Man Zhang's granddaughter can pass the exam, but you don't want my Yaozu? How can a little girl like her possibly compare to my Yaozu?"

Hearing the commotion outside, Ran Chu went out to check with a dark face.

I saw a mean-looking old woman with her hands on her hips spitting at the academy gate in dissatisfaction. Ran Chu was so angry that veins on his forehead bulged.

"How can the academy allow you to run wild here? Your child has no talent, so we don't want him. Don't you understand how simple it is?"

The old woman was startled when she saw Ran Chu coming out, but at this moment her anger suppressed her fear and she said with her neck stiff.

"I don't believe it. My Yaozu is such a smart kid. The fortune teller said he'll be a high-ranking official in the future. Why don't you want him?"

Seeing the ten-year-old boy next to the old woman, with a runny nose and crying, Ranchu's mouth twitched.

It's not that she discriminates, but she still has some impression of this child from the test just now.

He's so old, but he just throws a tantrum and won't even bother measuring his size.

He should have been eliminated in the first round, but she couldn't bear it and let him try one more time, but it was too late.

How could she possibly allow a child like this to come in?

"If you continue to make trouble, Lord Song is inside. Otherwise, I will ask him to come out and judge the matter."

"The tests just now were all conducted under the supervision of Lord Song. If you are worried that we will bully your grandson, how about letting Lord Song explain the situation to you?" Ran Chu said coldly with narrowed eyes.

These words successfully frightened the old woman. She was just a country woman and had only ever dealt with officials like the village chief in her life.

Although Song Jinshu treated the people kindly, she did not dare to question Song Jinshu to his face.

"No...no need!" said the old woman in a trembling voice.

The boy next to her had a runny nose and wailed, "Grandma! I want to go in and learn a trade, too! Shitou from our village got in. I don't want to be worse than him! I don't want to be worse than him!"

In the village, he was used to bullying Shi Tou, and now it was hard for him to accept admitting that he was not as good as Shi Tou.

From now on, Shitou will be able to live in the city, but he will have to stay in the village for the rest of his life.

The old woman hugged her beloved grandson and felt distressed, but this was not their village, and throwing a tantrum was not an option.

Besides, Ran Chu was staring at her with a fierce look in his eyes, so how could she dare to shout?

Seeing that a girl from a neighboring family had also passed the exam, she felt angry and anxious. She thought that she had a group of little girls at home, so why not let them try as well?

If I can pass, I can earn money for my family in the future and use it to help Yaozu marry a wife.

The old woman, who felt she was being considerate, dragged Yaozu out and rushed back to the village as quickly as possible.

After this incident, the families who were not selected did not dare to act recklessly and returned home in shame with their children.

Ran Chu entered the academy and briefly mentioned it to Song Jinshu. Song Jinshu shook his head helplessly: "I hope this kind of thing won't happen again next year."

When this batch of students graduates and is given jobs so that they can become self-sufficient, those people will see that girls can get good jobs just like boys.

She believes that the phenomenon of people favoring boys over girls will be alleviated.

……

Unlike the technical training academy, the county school registration site was much quieter and more orderly.

After all, we are all educated people, and no one wants to make a fool of themselves in public.

Lu Ruoyu and Xiao Jianqing sat at the same table, each holding a chess piece. "It's been a long time since we last met. Sir Xiao's chess skills have become even more refined."

Xiao Jianqing chuckled: "Brother Ruoyu is the same. I am ashamed of myself."

"I didn't expect to meet you here!" Xiao Jianqing said suddenly.

Hearing this, Lu Ruoyu's expression remained unchanged, and she said calmly, "Master Xiao has been traveling with his wife in recent years and not paying attention to worldly affairs. How long do you plan to stay here this time?"

Xiao Jianqing paused holding the chess piece, then returned to his original position and placed a move: "How do you know we're not living in seclusion here?"

Lu Ruoyu looked up at him and smiled, "Very good!"

Xiao Jianqing didn't understand what Lu Ruoyu meant, so he didn't try to find out and continued playing chess seriously.

"There's one thing I need to remind you of!"

Xiao Jianqing looked at him suspiciously. Lu Ruoyu said with a half-smile, "Your good nephew is particularly obsessed with our Jingyang County. Aren't you afraid of being seen by him?"

As expected, Xiao Jianqing frowned, his eyes full of displeasure: "Why is he here? Have you dealt with him before?"

His nephew...it's hard to describe him in a few words. He has lost contact with that side since ten years ago.

If I really run into him, it would be troublesome.

"He's quite powerful in Jingyang County. Not long ago, he was showing off in front of my master, saying he wanted to teach her a lesson, but..."

"Heh... You should know my temper. I beat him up afterwards..."
